When this 1s done .in the ordinary manner vit becomes necessary every time the cover is removed for serving cream to remove the ice-trom the cover, and inasmuch as the particles of ice are ditlicult to remove it frequently happens that some of the ice and salt drop into the freezer the cover is taken ott.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a novel form et cover tor the cans oi ice cream freezers which may be permv ently packed with a freezing mixture a id which is so constructed that the mixture used in packing the cover will be prevented from dripping' into the ice cream as the cover is removed.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in z eneral et an iniproved form of cover provided with a receptacle tor ay freezing mixture and a receptaele for the melted water troni such a mixture in connnunication with Athe tirst mentioned receptacle.

'lhe'invention further consists in certain novel details ot construction and combinations of parts hereinafter Yfully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and specifically set forth in the cla-ini.

ln the accompanyinu` drawings, like characters of reference indicato like parts in the ,several views, and c-lt igure l -is a side elevation of a freezer cover constructed in aecordance with this invention. Fig. Q is a section on the line 2 2 ot Fig. 1.

l() adapted to lit around the mouth olf the ordinary ice cream can and this cylindrical portion is'providcd u'ilh a cap or closure portion ll in the torni ol an upwardly concaved diaphragm. llxtending above this closure ll is an annular flange l2 tapering inward so as to torni a. lrusto-conical receptacle having a convex bottom. this being; clearly shown in lfig. E3. llxtcuding around the cylindrical portion l0 on thc outside thereof is a trough member lll Ushapcd in cross section and open at the upper end. ',l`hrou, ;h the Yflanc-e l2 are termed openings 1.4. which are arranged adjacent the lower edge ot the flange so that any liquid escaping- 'from the receptacle above the closure .il will fall into the trough.

ln order to handle the cover and to malte a. convenient incans oli removing the saine a bail 1.6 is provided which pivoted to the cover so thatv it. may tall on either side 4after the fashion of the ordinary buehet or pail handle. i

,ln the use ot this device the receptacle formed by' the members ll and l2 is filled with some such freezingn mixture as ice and salt and theeover placed on the can. [tiny melting oit the contents of the receptacle which forms Water will result. in the water thus formed running downward to the outer edges of the receptacle, this being provided for by the peculiar shape of the bottoni formed by the closure ll. [is this water runs down to these outer edges it passes ont through the openings lLl and into the an nular trough. By reason ot' ythis the cover may vbalitted oft the can Witlniut disturbing the contents of the receptacle and without danger of spilling any ice or salt into the cream, since the trough will receive any of the melted contents 'while the receptacle itself will hold the solid contents. The receptacle can thus be used an indefinite nuniithe invention,

caved Glosu'e covering the space surrounded by Said iapge, an inwaidiy inclined iange e'tendingjupwm'dly around the periphery of said closure to forni a rusto-conical recaptada lia-ving a convex bottoni, saidsecond ange being provided With a series of peromtions around the lower edge. thereof, an annular trough extending around the ousie of the Erst mentioned Flange imm@` diately below the peroratons in the second 1o flange, and a bail pivofed 0n said cover.
